Engineering Companies

[Vikki]

Hi everyone,
I am planning on coming to Oz in July 2006, on a work and holiday visa to live with my Australian boyfriend, then I'll be applyinf for a defacto visa or a sponsorship visa to alloe me to stay longer.
I am 22, currently in my final year of mechanical/manufacturing engineering and I graduate in June.
I was wondering if anyone might know of some companies in melbourne (i'll be in the Eastern Suburbs around Croydon, Wantirna, etc) or in city etc.
I have looked on career one website but thought I might be better sending emails to companies myself to try and get a job organised before I go or am I just best to wait and look when I'm out there?
Thanks
Vik

I know more about the engineering and design consultancies than the actual companies that do the physical work...

so...if you are interested in engineering consultancy...in Melbourne and eastern suburbs...

GHD (www.ghd.com.au)
SKM (www.skmconsulting.com)
Golder Associates (www.golder.com)
Parsons Brinkerhoff (www.pb.com.au)
Beveridge Williams (www.beveridgewilliams.com.au)
Coffey (www.coffeygeosciences.com.au)
Maunsell (www.maunsell.com)
URScorp (www.ap.urscorp.com/_business/index.asp?BDY=10)
Connel (www.conwag.com/news/index.asp)
Meinhardt (www.meinhardtgroup.com)

I'm sure that there are many others too... but these are about the top ten. Several also have offices in the UK that you might approach about an Australian placement.

Costs nothing to serach the websites and send an e-mail....

I would try au.yahoo.com (the Aussie Yahoo Site) or Google.com.au, and then search engineering with the "Australia-only" box ticked.

Also try www.seek.com.au and www.mycarrerr.com.au and see which engineering firms are advertising.

Best of luck.
